Nathaniel has great ideas, is good with communication, and has a great level of construction knowledge. He also has a collaborative and problem-solving attitude. I absolutely would (and do) recommend him for any architectural work.

We decided to hire Nathanael for our project. We are a newer construction company and we needed help with building plans and filling for permits. He has a great background and we have decided to partner with him for our future projects as well. His prices are reasonable and he is a great communicator.

We hired Nathaniel Rotta with West Coast Design and Graphics to draw up remodel plans for our home. He came out right away to get the information to do the bid. His prices were extremely reasonable and very competitive! Nathaniel's work and communication was exceptional. He had our plans drawn quickly and professionally. We would recommend him to anyone who needs an architect and will definitely hire him again!

WCD&G LLC went way above and beyond by getting all five (5) of our buildings designed, drafted and distributed well before my deadline. We'll use them again and often as they're very professional, efficient and just overall great to work with! Also glad we had the connection of Thumbtack for our needs as we're very pleased with the results here too and will Thumbtack again for other services.
Thank you -

It has been a pleasure to work with West Coast, and Nathaniel. He helped us put together our house plans and has been nothing short of patient and courteous. His work is outstanding: Thorough and precise--and affordable! Should we need any other plans made or adjusted, we'll go back to West Coast. Absolutely recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each project is priced on a lump sum basis per each specific project. And is tailored to the clients needs. Generally, a new build construction will be ~2-5% of construction costs and an addition or remodel will be between 8-15% of construction costs. There are many factors that impact the fee such as size of project, location, jurisdiction and how detailed of a design process.
An initial on-site consult will vary between $500-$1000 depending on location and will be credited towards the contract amount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1 - Initial consultation to establish scope of work.
2 - Feasibility and Schematic design phases outline what can be accomplished and initial design intent and concepts.
3 - Design development phase of honing the design
4 - Construction Document phase of completing the plans for permitting and construction
5 - Permitting - obtaining the permits from the city to construct the project
6 - Construction - make your dreams reality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Nathaniel is a licensed architect in both Oregon and Washington. LEED AP Certified for green construction practices. I have a professional bachelors degree in architecture from University of Southern California and an MBA from University of Oregon.
In addition, I have over a decades worth of construction management experiences working as an Owner's Rep Construction Manager and as construction managers for commercial general contractors. This has allowed me to understand and be familiar with all aspects of the build process. I have worked on my own projects, such as building a backyard shed, to multiple kitchen remodels and even my own addition, to managing $100M+ Construction projects.
